Simply 52 Card Sketch Challenge #3

Image
This is the sketch I needed to follow. I cut out the squares, by hand, then put a few of my plastic button halloween pieces on there cutting off the back before gluing them down. The pumpkins are brads I got from Oriental Trading. Ribbon is from Michaels. Please visit this site when you get a moment. They are just back up and running. They aren't just cards but also pages. http://www.simplyfiftytwo.com/ Thank you :)

Cricut Circle Halloween Home Decor Challenge

 Halloween Shadowbox The carts I used are many, Chic and Scary for the spider web, banner, skull/crossbones, candleabra and broom. Joys of the season for the fireplace/fire. Create a Critter for the leaves and pumpkins on mantel, Happy Hauntings for the cat/frame and the pumpkins on floor. Whew! I hope I named them all for you. It was a lot, but so so fun. This took me a good two days, but then again I changed my mind many times, so probably 1 day if you aren't as indecisive as me...lol The cat I heat embossed using clear deep impressions, the frame I used a combo of pirates gold and detail gold. The red cat mask at the top of the frame is also heat embossed using red tinsel. At the top, its a little hard to see the detail, but I made crown molding using a border embossing folder.

Christmas Card

     Do you have a cart that you are just itchin to try? Mine is Snow Angel. This cart has so many wonderful Christams images. So many you will have a hard time choosing which one to start with. After staring at the booklet for about an hour I finally decided to go with my favorite Christmas flower, the poinsettia. Don't you just love these? So bright and cheery.     The image was printed at 3.5 along with an extra top layer of the flowers so that I could pop dot them and add some depth off of the pot. I added some glitter to the dark portion of he flowers, leaves and centers.     Now with the Imagine you can often ruin the image if it gets very wet with glues or glitter glue so gel and glitter pens are a great alternative choice. You will find it helps keep the paper even and not crinkle, also the color won't bleed as it often does with stickles.      Shading was done using memento ink, then I just ad...
